One-step: find best endpoint for a natural-language query and call it. Combines search + call in one round trip.
search_endpoints
Search the bundled endpoint catalog. Runtime search does not fetch `/openapi.json`.
describe_endpoint
Inspect an endpoint by `operation_id`, including path, method, parameters, required inputs, `agent_hints`, and `request_body_schema` for JSON-body POST operations.
call_endpoint
Call a Sugra API operation by `operation_id`. Arbitrary path calls are no longer supported.
list_toolsets
List catalog groups with endpoint counts and descriptions.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Sugra API is categorized under Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Mcp Server Cloudflare belongs to Cloud Platforms using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Sugra API when you need capabilities focused on cloud platforms and Mcp Server Cloudflare when you require tools for cloud platforms.
Screen a name against sanctions and watchlists (Sugra Entity).
sugra_entity_lookup
Composed entity lookup by identifier - `anchor` is `lei` or `vat`, plus the identifier `value`; returns registry identity + screening (Sugra Entity).
resolve_entity
Free text (ticker, company, indicator, coin, currency pair) to a canonical market or macro entity. Ambiguous matches return ranked candidates, never a silent pick.
get_snapshot
Entity plus a named recipe to one composed current view with freshness, provenance, coverage, and billing blocks. Composed calls charge a fixed recipe cost (1-2 requests) from the daily quota.
get_timeseries
Entity plus metric (`price`, `macro_series`, `etf_flows`) to a bounded series with an explicit downsampling flag.
